Number Of Ingredients 17

HOPPIN' JOHN
1 lb dried black-eyed peas, soaked
1 large white onion, diced
2 stalk(s) celery, diced
1 medium red bell pepper, diced
2 tsp garlic, minced
1-2 c ham, diced
32 oz chicken broth
1-2 Tbsp chicken bouillon granules
1-2 Tbsp cajun seasoning blend
1 bay leaf
4 slice bacon
salt, to taste
black pepper, to taste
1/2 bunch green onion, diced
RICE
3-4 c white rice, prepared

Steps:

  • 1. Combine the soaked beans (soak overnight), white onion, celery, red bell peppers, garlic & ham in a large crock pot.
  • 2. In a bowl, whisk the chicken bouillon granules and Cajun seasoning into the chicken broth. Pour into the crock pot and stir to combine the ingredients.
  • 3. Add one bay leaf, pushing it down into the liquid until it is sumerged.
  • 4. Lay the four strips of bacon over combined ingredients, side-by-side. It's okay if they sink.
  • 5. Cook on high 7-8 hours (or low 4-5 hours), until the beans are tender. Discard the bay leaf and rendered bacon. Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary (add salt & black pepper to taste).
  • 6. Serve over white rice, garnished with a sprinkle of green onion.

I'm not a big fan of collard greens, so I omitted them from this recipe. The Hoppin' John was still delicious, and the black-eyed peas and rice were cooked perfectly.

I'm a vegetarian, so I made this recipe without the sausage. It was still delicious! The black-eyed peas and collard greens were full of flavor, and the rice added a nice heartiness to the dish.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my Hoppin' John turned out a little dry. I think I would add some more liquid next time, maybe some chicken broth or water.

I've tried many Hoppin' John recipes over the years, but this one is by far the best. The use of the slow cooker really brings out the flavors of the ingredients, and the addition of the collard greens gives it a nice touch of bitterness.
